The Wild Feathers

Biography

Formed in 2010 in Austin, Texas around the talents of Ricky Young, Joel King, Taylor Burns and Preston Wimberly, all of whom had served as lead singers in their previous bands, the Wild Feathers came together out of a shared love for all things Tom Petty, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, the Band, and the Allman Brothers. Preferring the term “American” over Americana, the band eventually re-located to Nashville, where they inked a deal with Warner Bros. and found themselves opening shows for Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson. The band's eponymous major-label debut hit the streets in the summer of 2013.
